Cerebrospinal fluid levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and cyclic nucleotides were measured in alcoholic and control patients. Alcoholics without seizures had higher GABA levels than either alcoholics with seizures or controls. Levels of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in cerebrospinal fluid of

The association between inflammation and the induction of seizures is well-known. It has been reported that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with a pro-inflammatory state, and systemic inflammation may trigger central nervous system inflammation. This study aims to identify

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is an extremely rare cause of focal seizures and is usually a diagnosis of exclusion when more commoner causes such as infection, autoimmune and malignancy have been discounted. The literature reports patients with generalised cerebral oedema and rarely status

The N1-P2 wave of the auditory evoked potential was studied in 19 alcoholics, six of whom had withdrawal seizures on previous admissions. The recordings were made at 1 and 5 days after cessation of drinking. Eight nonalcoholic volunteers were used as controls. The latencies of N1 and P2 were

Subacute encephalopathy with seizures in alcoholics (SESA syndrome) is a rare neurologic disorder complicating the chronic abuse of alcohol. This acute or subacute condition is characterized by transient neurologic deficits, seizures and severe lateralized abnormalities on the electroencephalogram

Our own studies of individuals undergoing inpatient alcohol detoxification revealed a correlation between the number of detoxifications conducted and the probability that the

We report a case of isoniazid induced convulsions in 35 years old male alcoholic and smoker patient receiving intensive phase therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis. A case was confirmed by accidental positive de-challenge and rechallenge as well as ruled out other conditions. Use of isoniazid in

Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) is characterized by eye signs, cerebellar dysfunction, and confusion. Epileptic seizures are rare in nonalcoholic WE. We reviewed the clinical, laboratory, radiological, and prognostic characteristics of nonalcoholic WE accompanied by epileptic seizures. We reported 1

Regarding the therapeutic properties of Nigella sativa (NS), the effects of the plant hydro - alcoholic extract on learning, memory and brain tissues oxidative damage were investigated in penthylenetetrazole (PTZ) - induced repeated seizures. There were 4 experimental groups including: 1- control

METHODS A 48-year-old woman was hospitalised because of grand-mal seizures. 3 years previously a malignant melanoma had been resected from the skin of the back. She was also known to have chronic cholestasis of unknown cause. On physical examination there were postictal signs, but no neurological

Background: Previous studies have shown that seizures can cause cognitive disorders. On the other hand, the Curcuma zedoaria (CZ) has beneficial effects on the nervous system. However, there is little information on the possible effects
